Donald Trump became fixated on birds flying into wind turbines and labelled Sir Keir Starmer's wife "beautiful" in a pre-Christmas call with the Prime Minister, it has emerged.
A new report in The Times has shed light on the contents of the two men's second phone call since Trump's November 5 re-election - and claims it went a little differently than its official readout.
The call's on-the-record description had said the pair discussed Ukraine and the "close and historic relation between the UK and the US".
Despite Starmer attempting to keep the call on-message, Trump took control - joking with the PM about birds and wind turbines, and talking up Victoria Starmer and Prince William's beard.

The coyotes eating the fallen birds were getting so fat that they would need to be given weight-loss drugs, Trump reportedly told Starmer.
The President-elect also heaped praise on the Prince of Wales's "modern" beard after their meeting in Paris for the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral.
Alongside discussing his golf course in Scotland, Trump said Lady Starmer was "beautiful" and the Prime Minister's "greatest asset".
Trump's warm words doubtless only add to reports that the President-elect is a keen Anglophile.

Not only as Trump himself been filmed professing his admiration for the Royal Family, he is also set to become the first ever elected politician to receive two state visits to Britain.
His UK love-in could put the British Government on a slightly firmer footing when it comes to securing any sort of trade deal with the Trump administration.
Starmer has anointed Lord Mandelson to represent Labour in Washington DC - and the Government believes that there could be room for a deal.

It's said that Trump is unlikely to impose unilateral tariffs on British exports - and may instead take a sector-by-sector approach.
But embedded in the President-elect's inner circle is fierce Starmer critic Elon Musk - who has accused the PM of failing to prosecute grooming gangs when he was head of the Crown Prosecution Service.
Starmer has rejected the claims, pointing to the fact he ordered a review into failures in prosecuting paedophiles and acted on it.
